sIR:--Ass true friend Of Republicanism
and one who feels deep inte1eet in the
political future OF our State and county,
have few thouEh.u 10 offer concerning
the past mode Of conducting Republican
campsisns in Randolph county. I also
would ike, II permitted, to give my vieys
OF man to head our State end Unitpd
States ticket in 1883. Our county is a
stronghold OF Democracy in West Vir.

Then how important 1t 10 tkGt an effort be
made to orsanizs cur party in those sec.

the time arrives in which every man
should be q host In himRelf and be g;rded
Tor tho combat, going forth conquer;rp
md to conquer. One thing above ali
othcrs 10 weighing Us down in Randolph:
We have no standard around which to
rally and hence there In not combined or
vigorous action. Our county needs com.
mittee OF the people and icr the peopls
composed Of members from esch district
who would not scTuple to waste few days
in conducting county and distric. meetings
from time to tlmo as may be required.
There ought to be Republican county
press to corntcract tho influence epread

10 fact that We have neither press, nor
an executive committee and many times

We hava many staunch Republicsna ct

With ". a. Il. Flick OF the hesd Of thu

there is no other man in West Virgins.
In my op MOS who has IS a-m a hold on
people OF all clRaaos. He is u man OF
estimah!N character, and ssraiphttcr.
